Features And Functions Of The Player - Pioneer LaserDisc ELITE CLD-99 Operating Instructions Manual

FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS OF THE PLAYER
Gamma-Tum System - Two-Side Continuous Playback
With this function, both sides of a two-sided LD can be played
consecutively, eliminating the need to turn the disc over when the
first side is completed.
A Side <> B Side Continuous Playback Programs
Through the use of the Gamma-Turn system, programs which go
from side A to side B or from side B to side A can be freely created.
Full Digital Processing System
Virtual elimination of analog processing assures high picture
quality with minimal distortion. Thanks to the field correlation
digital video processor, the picture is dimensionally balanced with
high resolution and high S/N.
Digital TBC system _
A digital TBC system is used for correcting jitter in the picture
processing circuitry, featuring a wide correction range, minimal
signal degradation and high-quality picture reproduction.
3D Digital Y/C Separation Circuitry
This circuitry memorizes a scene, and immediately compares it
with the current scene to achieve Y/C separation with less dot
interference and cross color interference than 3-line Y/C separation
(2D), with no loss in horizontal, vertical, and diagonal resolution.
1-Bit DLC D/A Converters
D/A converters are devices for transforming digital signals into
analog signals. The D/A converter used in this player employs an
advanced 1-bit conversion system. Compared to conventional
converters, this system has the following advantages:
e Theoretically no zero cross distortion is generated.
eThe system is free of non-linear distortion throughout the
frequency range.
@ High-precision operation can be obtained without adjustments.
With this type of conversion, there is no loss of music quality even
at minute signal levels. Moreover, the noise shaping function
necessary for 1-bit conversion is implemented using a double-step
noise shaping system. This system carries out noise shaping once
in the preliminary digital filter stage and then again in the D/A
converter section, thus minimizing quantization noise and providing
extremely high-precision. Furthermore, two of these D/A converters
are used independently for the left and right channels, realizing a
high signal-to-noise ratio and excellent separation.
Legato Link Conversion
This unit is equipped with Legato Link Conversion which makes
possible reproduction that exceeds the conventional limits of the
digital recording format.
Legato Link Conversion achieves music reproduction closer to the
original sound by deducing the original signal based on the
recorded signal.
Picture Stop Cancel (PSC) function
Digital output terminals
This unit is equipped with both optical output and coaxial digital
output terminals.

3D Digital NR
LDs contain inherent noise such as color smearing. To effectively
reduce this kind of noise, this unit features 3D Digital NR. You can
also independently adjust brightness and color. Naturally, since
processing is digital, there's no loss in picture quality.
Film Mode
When Film Mode is ON, the front panel dispiay window and screen
display are turned off during playback, and the screen goes black
when changing disc sides. Play starting time and the time required
to change disc sides is shorter than during normal playback of
movie discs.
Program Playback
Up to 24 chapters can be programmed for playback in any desired
sequence.
Repeat Playback
Eight repeat modes - Memory Repeat, A-B Repeat, 1-chapter/track
Repeat, One-side Repeat, All side Repeat (for two-side LDs only),
Program Repeat, and Random Repeat - are available. (With discs
having no TOC, Random Repeat cannot be carried out.)
Special Play Functions
Thanks to the video circuitry's 8-bit digital memory, you can enjoy
a high quality picture and a range of different play modes even with
a long-playing disc (CLV).
Random Playback (For LDs, this function is only available with
discs containing TOC.)
All chapters of one side of a disc can be played in random order.
Hi-Lite/Intro Scan Piayback
Hi-Lite Sean - CD, CDV-audio part
Playback starts from a point 1 minute after the beginning of the
track, and each track is played for about 8 seconds. Also, Hi-Lite
Scan playback can be started from the desired minute and
second on each track.
Intro Scan - LD, CDV-video part
The beginning of each chapter/track is played for about8 seconds.
Direct CD Function
Pressing DIRECT CD on the front panel instructs the unitto use the
CD disc table, which reduces the play starting time. In addition,
since the picture circuit does not function, the player eliminates the
interference between signals and reproduces more pure sound.
Last Memory Function
This lets you watch a LD part way through, and then resume
watching it later from where you left off.
Compatibility with Many Disc Types and Sizes
In addition to conventional LDs (12 inch, 8 inch),.CDs (Sinch), and
CDV discs (5 inch), the player can play thin-type 8 inchLDs and 3
inch CD singles without an adapter.
